A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Susan Faludi brilliantly deconstructed the reigning myths about the \"costs\" of women's independence--from the supposed \"man shortage\" to the \"infertility epidemic\" to \"career burnout\" to \"toxic day care\"--and traced their circulation from Reagan-era politics through the echo chambers of mass media, advertising, and popular culture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs Faludi writes in a new preface for this edition, much has changed in the intervening years: The Internet has given voice to a new generation of feminists. Corporations list \"gender equality\" among their core values. In 2019, a record number of women entered Congress. Yet the glass ceiling is still unshattered, women are still punished for wanting to succeed, and reproductive rights are hanging by a thread. This startling and essential book helps explain why women's freedoms are still so demonized and threatened--and urges us to choose a different future.","brand":"Susan Faludi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46348590645484,"sku":"9780307345424","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9780307345424.jpg?v=1744133219","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/backlash-the-undeclared-war-against-american-women","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
